This is a compilation CD containing the whole of two popular books by American Author Anson Gard, "The Hub and the Spokes," and "Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa". Published in 1904 and 1906 respectively these two books provide a fund of historical and genealogical information about the Ottawa / Hull area including a lot of the surrounding area "up" the river Ottawa's valley.

Each of the two books on this CD are described in greater detail in our catalogue under their individual titles. Each title is also available individually:

The Hub and the Spokes, or The Capital and its Environs
Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa and the Humors of the Valley: South Hull and Aylmer Edition

The whole CD is fully text searchable using the Search or Find functions of the common PDF reader such as Adobe Reader (compatible with V4 or above, V6 or higher recommended).
